What you can see in the images is the magnificence of the new 777X.

Another highlight of the new generation of the 777 is the folding wing tips, a solution adopted by Boeing to facilitate the movement of the aircraft at airports without the need for adaptations. The wings of the 777-9 have a wingspan of 235 feet (71.8 meters) and 212 feet (64.8 m) with the tips gathered.
